The Sea Quotes

The sea drowns out humanity and time. It has no sympathy with either, for it belongs to eternity; and of that it sings its monotonous song forever and ever Picture Quote #1

We need wealthy dogs off the seats of power. They’re taking us back to feudalism and I really don’t want that. But I’m very far from being a socialist Picture Quote #1

I don’t know who said that novelists read the novels of others only to figure out how they are written. I believe it’s true. We aren’t satisfied with the secrets exposed on the surface of the page: we turn the book around to find the seams Picture Quote #1

You’ve seen the sun flatten and take strange shapes just before it sinks in the ocean. Do you have to tell yourself every time that it’s an illusion caused by atmospheric dust and light distorted by the sea, or do you simply enjoy the beauty of it? Picture Quote #1

To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due Picture Quote #1

Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic Picture Quote #1

And what of the dead? They lie without shoes in the stone boats. They are more like stone than the sea would be if it stopped. They refuse to be blessed, throat, eye and knucklebone Picture Quote #1

One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide; in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean Picture Quote #1

Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together Picture Quote #1

You might as well ask an artist to explain his art, or ask a poet to explain his poem. It defeats the purpose. The meaning is only clear thorough the search Picture Quote #1

A fragrant breeze wandered up from the quiet sea, trailed along the beach, and drifted back to the sea again, wondering where to go next. On a mad impulse it went up to the beach again. It drifted back to sea Picture Quote #1

When asked for advice by beginners. Know your ending, I say, or the river of your story may finally sink into the desert sands and never reach the sea Picture Quote #1

The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t Picture Quote #1

We gather at night to celebrate being human. Sometimes we call out low to the tambourine. Fish drink the sea, but the sea does not get smaller! We eat the clouds and evening light. We are slaves tasting the royal wine Picture Quote #1

The search for the means to put an end to things, an end to speech, is what enables the discourse to continue Picture Quote #1

We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers Picture Quote #1

Is it the sea you hear in me? Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness? Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it Picture Quote #1

Time is more complex near the sea than in any other place, for in addition to the circling of the sun and the turning of the seasons, the waves beat out the passage of time on the rocks and the tides rise and fall as a great clepsydra Picture Quote #1

And of course, the brain is not responsible for any of the sensations at all. The correct view is that the seat and source of sensation is the region of the heart Picture Quote #1

I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere Picture Quote #1

When you loved me I gave you the whole sun and stars to play with. I gave you eternity in a single moment, strength of the mountains in one clasp of your arms, and the volume of all the seas in one impulse of your soul Picture Quote #1

This is the extent of his knowledge of the sea: it was very big, it was salty, and fish lived there Picture Quote #1

I don’t even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere Picture Quote #1

The first thunderstorm of the season was in the dressing room, donning its black robes and its necklace of hailstones, strapping on its electrical sword Picture Quote #1

Oh, that river of wishes, the slippery crocodile dream of it, how it might have carried my body down through all the glittering sand bars to the sea Picture Quote #1

Is not the beautiful moon, that inspires poets, the same moon which angers the silence of the sea with a terrible roar? Picture Quote #1

It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers Picture Quote #1

The sun is a thief: she lures the sea and robs it. The moon is a thief: he steals his silvery light from the sun. The sea is a thief: it dissolves the moon Picture Quote #1

And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now Picture Quote #1

Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm Picture Quote #1
